Abstract:

To provide theoretical reference for promoting urban resilience and their ability to withstand disasters, the structural characteristics of urban resilience and mechanisms to strengthen their resilience of different collaboration management patterns are investigated by theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. Results indicate that for many cities, the core functions of urban resilience are absorption capacity of disasters' energy and self-healing ability, which are supported by other capacities such as redundancy, stability, adaptability and other related abilities. Collaboration management could enhance the urban resilience by improving absorption capacity of disasters' energy and recovery ability. The higher the extent of collaborative management is, the quicker the critical path is defined by disaster response department and the more reasonable the allocation of disaster relief force is, the stronger urban resilience will be.

Key words: collaboration management, urban resilience, absorption of disasters' energy, recovery ability
